WebFlake 7.0.0

Released 09/29/2023

Key Changes

  • Updated to Invision Community 4.7.13 and all available apps/plugins.
    • This includes several new features, notably:
      • Improvements to solved topics with new notifications, a total solved topics count in profile, plus the ability to see a user's solved posts.
      • Users will now receive a notification when their content is moderated (locked, deleted, moved, etc), for verbal warnings, updates to our community guidelines, when new forums are added, subscription adjustments, etc.
      • Additionally, with the new Alerts system, moderators can generate popup messages to members for a variety of reasons like notices about reports, reminders, etc.
      • Support topics can now be filtered by un/solved and can also be filtered in the Activity Stream.
      • Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and account deletion requests are now baked in and available.
      • Users can log in with display name or email.
      • Posts from staff are now highlighted in topic view.
      • Push notifications via web browser for users who opt-in.
    • Migrated from Advanced Tags & Prefixes to Radical Tags. This new system is slightly limited but is the only alternative given that ATP is now abandonware.
    • Upgraded our WebFlake N3XT theme to V3 and stylized to reflect the new home page with several minor CSS adjustments.
  • Integrated Invision's new Achievements & Ranks system.
    • This new system is now our default progression system, and all permissions are now tied to individual ranks.
      • This system includes 14 total ranks (including the base rank of Newbie), 16 obtainable badges, and 12 obtainable achievements.
      • Member groups are no longer displayed (except for Staff).
      • User ranks (and their current XP) are displayed in-topic, on profiles, and in the user menu.
    • With the exception of the number of points required to progress to Rookie (lowered to 20), all required point totals for each rank have been left unadjusted.
    • Users can earn points based on a number of activities on the site. The following is a list of how points can be earned and is subject to change:

    • Some of the activities listed above will generate unique badges that are displayed on your profile. The following is a catalogue of available badges:

      • The first four badges are only available by manual assignment.
    • Moving from Newbie to Rookie can be done quickly with one topic and one approved file submission. The intention here is to encourage activity among lurkers. You can continue to lurk, but you won't be able to rank up passively.
    • We cannot stress this enough: this system is subject to change at any time. If it seems too tough at first, or too easy, we will adjust as we receive feedback.
    • Donator ranks are unaffected by the ranking system although they are still able to progress through the ranks as a form of recognition.
  • We've moved away from our traditional tracker system for suggestions/ideas and are now using a vote-based system for users to offer new ideas for WebFlake.
  • We've tentatively reenabled our Staff Applications page (webflake.dev/forums/apply) but as with all things, there may be bugs so please report them as you encounter them.
  • DISCORD: We've reopened several channels on Discord but do not yet have everything configured. Feel free to join us there though!
    • In the coming weeks, we will transition to the Server Guide feature with configurable alerts/channels.
  • STAFF UPDATE: As a matter of formality, our team now consists of:
